This is a dhosa which is filled with mixed vegetable curry, instead of the usual potato curry. I asked for it hot and they added over a hundred tiny chopped thai chili pieces. Yowza! Hot Hot Hot. Delicious!
Today we were celebrating the last day of peach picking at Jossy farm. How to celebrate in style? Another fine Indian dinner at Chennai Masala! We've been to Bangalore. We've eaten dhosas in Mysore too. This is the only restaurant where the dhosas are better than we've had in India, let alone in the US. The dhosas we had in India had too much clarified butter (ghee) to our liking. However, it is difficult to cook a dhosa with very little ghee. It will get too dry and crack. Chennai Masala chefs use just enough ghee so the dhosa is supple, yet light and not oily. Magic! They also have unusual dhosas which are hard to find anywhere in the US. This is a dhosa which is filled with mixed vegetable curry, instead of the usual potato curry. I asked for it hot and they added over a hundred tiny chopped thai chili pieces. Yowza! Hot Hot Hot. Delicious! This is an unusual spinach (saag), lentil, and potato filled dhosa. Very unusual, and very tasty, if you like saag.

After peach picking on a hot day, this really hits the spot. This is a kind of dhosa which is hard to find in the US. Normally, it is a Rava Masala Dhosa, but we got this one without the masala. So I guess this is a Rava Dhosa. Rava dhosas are not made with normal flour batter. Instead, they are basically made with a kind of "cream of wheat" grain. This is another type of dhosa which is not easy to find in the US. Imagine a "normal" dhosa, only a very thin layer of chili sauce is spread inside, evenly covering the entire interior surface of the dhosa. It's called a Mysore Masala Dhosa. It is moderately spicy. The sambar is a bit spicier still, which is as it should be! :)
